HAIR WAVER;

Application filed August 30, 1927. Serial No. 216,388.

Our invention relates to devices for artificially producing waves in human hair. In producing such waves effective results may be obtained by first wetting the hair and then looking strands of it in waving devices and permitting it to dry therein. This process may be performed repeatedly without injurious effects and may be practiced by anyone without the use of complicated or expensive appliances. It is our object to produce a simple and cheaply produced waver which will give a high, deep, regular wave and to construct the waver in such a way that adjacent wavers will co-operate in the production of regularly spaced waves.

In the drawingFig. 1 is a side view, parts,

ly in section, of a single waver embodying our invention; Fig. 2 a plan View, partly in section of the structure of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 a

sectional view of the structure of Fig. l on the line 33 thereof; Fig. 4 a plan view of a double waver embodying our invention;

A into an eye 11 around, the hinge i B in locked relation.

and Fig. 5 a sectional view of the structure of Fig. 4 on the line 5-5 thereof.

a The single waver shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 comprises a frame A, preferably stamped from a single piece of sheet metal, and having sides 1 and 2 and ends 3 and 4, with a central opening 5. The sides 1 and 2 are longitudinally bent or curved downwardly at 6 and 7, as best shown in Fig. 3, to increase the effective depth of the frame. The end 3 is slotted at 8 to form a hinge pin 9 and the end 4 is slotted at 10.

A spring tongue B has one end formed in 10 and is then upwardly curved or are led at the middle ortion 12, which normally lies well above the frame A, but which may pass through the opening 5 therein, and terminates at its free end in a hook 13, which enters the slot 10, to hold the parts A and In use the tongue B is pushed under a strand of wet hair and the frame A ushed down until the hook 13 enters the s 0t 10. This leaves the strand of hair under the downwardly curved sides 1-6 and 2-7 and over the tongue at 12. A second waver is likewise placed on the strand of hair alongside the first one with the downwardly expending edges practically touching. In this way the wavers conjointly produce a much and 18. This forms a double frame with openings 19 and 20 therein. Spring tongues D and E are mounted 011 this frame cover the openings 19 and 20 just as in the single waver of Figs. 1, 2 and 3.

The center bar 16, between the two openingsis bent downwardly or troughed at 21, as shown in Fig. 5, to increase the effective depth of the frame, just as the downwardly extendingsides of the waver of Figs. 1, 2 and 3 perform the function.

g The tongues fif this double waver are pushed under a strand of hair and the frame pushed down and locked to the tongues. The strand then passes under the side 15, over the tongue D, under the downwardly bent or troughed center bar 16, over the tongue E and finally under the side 14.

By the use of our single and double covered and a deep wave is produced which is regular and even due to theaccurate spacing of the wavers which results from using them in double form or in touching pairs.

It is apparent that when a pair of single wavers are placed side-by side the bentdown edges will form the equivalent of the trough of the double waver. We claim 1. A hair waver comprising a frame, an opening therein, a side member of the frame being bent downwardly to increase the effective depth of the frame, a spring tongue I a hinged to the frame at one end. means for securing the free end of the tongue to the other end of the frame, the mainportion of said tonguelying above said opening in the frame when locked thereto.

2. A hair waver comprising a frame, an openin therein, the side members of the frame eing bent downwardly to] increase the effective depth of the frame, a spring tongue hinged to the frame at one end,

ings and hinged to the frame at one end 10 and means for securing the free ends of the tongues to the other end of the frame, the main portion of said tongues lying above said frame when locked thereto.

In testimony whereof we have afiixed our 15 signatures.
